Austria

Austria – land of strudel and lethal table-dancing apres-ski. But we’re there for the skiing – this is the place where it’s more important than football. There’s a city with a ski lift in the middle of it, and vast valleys with ski resorts scattered down their length and glaciers at the ends. Well-connected from the UK, Austrian resorts have every sort of accommodation, some of the most varied skiing around from park to touring with everything in between, and terrific infrastructure.
